Chapter 21: Guess Who They Will Save

In the days that followed, Aman carefully tended to Xia Liu’s recovery while also briefing her on the key points of their upcoming actions. Immediately, someone recognized Wuya, and everyone hurried to pay their respects, even Du Gu Ming, a powerful practitioner at the Grand Ascension stage, was no exception.

Many present knew that Lin Chutian had once defeated Pan Changqing with a single punch, and that he was a master of hard-style martial arts, renowned for his strength. Yet none truly believed he could overcome a grandmaster of martial arts.

“Jingteng, you haven’t had lunch yet, have you? Listen to your mother—let’s go out for a meal,” Lu Moyun said, her tone much gentler than it had been that morning, aware that his emotions were now difficult to control.

Yunqing’s goal was to seduce Xia Liu. For a mother, the best way to befriend her was through her child.

It turned out that last night, Shen Zhongnan had told Ding One and Ding Two to rest early—though this was mostly for the benefit of those listening nearby. Ding One and Ding Two understood perfectly and immediately went out to investigate.

Lin Chutian grabbed the large fish and tore off a chunk of flesh, his teeth chattering from the cold, yet he swallowed it in just a few bites.

He did not wish for the empire to be overthrown, so he joined forces with Sheila. I believe their aim is to replace the ministers, perhaps even to seize the throne itself.

Suddenly, Lin Chutian saw in the phone video that the madman, invoking a spell, pointed his sword forward, shooting forth a jet of dark divine power.

Perhaps for most, it is merely a name, but celebrities live for such fame, and so do large corporations.

I recalled what the previous passenger had said, but thought that returning with an empty car was no different from going back anyway. So I decided to take one more passenger. The driver paused here, and Da Meng and the other two exchanged glances. Da Meng took something from his pocket, checked it, and put it back.

“Are you mad? Why follow that girl’s orders?” Guard B couldn’t help but ask as he watched Guard A rummage in the kitchen.

Lingyun wanted to take Jin Chaohuang away, but could not keep him at his side directly. Entering the Crimson Gold Ghost Domain with him would be far too conspicuous.

The teacher could hardly reconcile Lin Mumu’s behavior with that of a gentleman; whenever Lin Mumu caused trouble, it gave the teacher a headache. Yet Lin Mumu was clever—no matter the subject, he mastered it after one lesson. The teacher both loved and resented him.

Over time, even if Siwu went undetected once or twice, eventually people would notice something amiss.

Quietly, An Jing and Xiao Changyi turned the soil in the vegetable garden, chatting as they worked.

If they found the Cui family first, Li Yong would have no opportunity. Second Uncle would find the military roster and charge Li Yong with desertion.

None of the laboratories could guarantee a complete cure for his disease; only that they would do their utmost, and he must cooperate fully with their research.

“You are the only family I have left in this world. I would never harm you. Let me help you back to your room to rest. When you’ve calmed down, we can talk properly.” Bai Ye spoke without anger, tending to her.

Song Tao’s status was still not on par with the archbishop, and his request was not a major one—merely the establishment of a perfume company, requiring the princess’s introduction. Whether it happened sooner or later mattered little.

With such cold handling, in less than a day the fervor would dissipate, and most people would gradually forget the matter.

Xia Yiruo smiled faintly. To be honest, what more could she say? She certainly couldn’t force Bai Yuan to renounce his vows.

The silver-armored knight scrutinized carefully, frowning, unsure how to determine the vampire’s death.

Lin Jing started the car. Upon hearing the sound, Xu Ning realized it wasn’t as ordinary as it appeared—by his judgment, only the outer shell was original.

Gu Enxun felt Zhao Yucheng slowly release her. She lifted her head, and in the warm light, his gentle face was flushed.

Only by intimidating the opponent would they willingly accept the disadvantage of one fewer ban slot.

“If that’s the case, Mo Li, you should go back with Mi Lu. It’s not a difficult place to find, I can manage on my own~” Was she expected to indulge Mo Li like a parent? Mo Li was a good friend, but not Chu Xia’s; Chu Xia had no obligation to pamper her and politely declined.

As Gu Enxun fretted over what to do, the instructor’s words immediately rescued her from the awkwardness of sitting beside another man in front of Zhao Yucheng.

It seemed she had something to say to me. Could it be she truly intended to ruin her own reputation?

She burrowed into Ran Sui’s arms, breathing in the pleasant scent of medicine. So gentle—my brother is so much kinder than that violent young palace master. Ugh, I struggled so hard to escape from the palace master; I never wish to recall those terrifying youthful days.

In the ensuing years of war, the empire began to falter, withdrawing its defenses across vast star domains.

“Hmph! You women think you can talk down to me? Dream on!” Fearing they wouldn’t come, I mocked them.

Isn’t it curious why Midnight has never appeared, and why Leng Lingfeng and Murong Xing have no one at their side?

As I pondered, the already chilling haunted house grew even colder, and the old wooden furniture creaked ominously.

As for Tianze and the others, their cultivation was only at the initial Sky Wilderness stage—against Brother Hong, it was certain death. Now, only he could confront Brother Hong.

Master was long accustomed to my impatient nature and led me to the main hall, found Senior Brother, and called him into a side chamber to speak.

While on the way, Naruto kept asking what the big matter was, but the Third Hokage, stubborn as a turtle, refused to say a word.

Curiosity about such matters was not limited to Kerla and Xiaqi. The World Government, Navy, the Seven Warlords of the Sea—all manner of powers have been trying every means to investigate the details of that battle, seeking to uncover how the fight between Elwus and Kaido finally ended.

Xue Yin did not answer; Zhenji glanced at him and asked why he had spoken thus. Tang Lichuan replied that those who inquire about him in Dapeng Square may be officials. Zhenji feigned a relaxed smile and said no more. Tang Lichuan found them odd, but for the moment did not know how to broach the subject, nor did he wish to.
